In response to Tiger84
Agree that the best advice is to just keep on trying to win and getting the highest seed possible. There is no guarantee that you get the best draw in round 1 or 2 but the higher the seed, historically the better the results in the aggregate.
AP moved the Tigers up from #23 to #21 -- Coaches Poll tomorrow.
ESPN bracketologist moved the Tigers up to #5 seed today. Depending on how other teams perform for the remainder of the year and in their competitive Power 5 tournaments, a #5 seed is certainly possible.
In order to raise the profile of the IL, the bare minimum is that the Tigers would need at least one win and a very competitive game against a strong team in round 2 but to really gain recognition, they need to get to the Final 16 and play a very competitive game in the 3rd round.
This team has some special gifts that could make it a memorable one but you never know and they could get knocked out in round #1.
Time will tell.
